Bowmont Lodge is an impressive, detached house believed to date from the 1920's and built in a most attractive Arts & Crafts style. It enjoys an excellent location towards the edge of the town, set against the backdrop of the Cheviots and with absolutely stunning views along the valley and beyond. It offers spacious accommodation with a wealth of original features including panelled doors and Art Nouveau style fireplaces. There is a generously sized enclosed garden enjoying a high level of privacy, planted with a variety of mature shrubs, and ample parking.

LOCATION
The picturesque village of Town Yetholm nestles at the foot of Yetholm Law with views across the Bowmont Water to the Cheviot Hills. The village is well accommodated with good bus connections, a church, primary school, two pubs, local shops, visiting library and Doctor's surgery and is also close to the amenities of the town of Kelso, seven miles distant, which has good educational and sporting facilities and quality shops. Yetholm is situated at the end of the historic Pennine Way and has much to offer those interested in country pursuits with Tweed fishing, National Hunt racing and walking in the Cheviot Hills. Both Edinburgh and Newcastle, with their International airports, are easily commutable in around one hour's drive, with Berwick upon Tweed and its Intercity rail connection 23 miles distant.
